Carboxysome shell protein CsoS1D

UniProtKB accession:  D0KZ73

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the carboxysome shell, a polyhedral inclusion where RuBisCO (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, cbbL-cbbS) is sequestered. It may control transport of RuBisCO reactants in and out of the carboxysome (By similarity). In an E.coli expression system not absolutely necessary, its presence leads to fewer defective carboxysomes, suggesting this subunit may play a role in assembly (PubMed:22184212).
